They started building an in-game setting of that picture Brad recycled from another project from years before he swindled a bunch of people for money in part using that picture as concept art. That's something. The only thing original, which is why it got 2 seconds that showed very little in that long ass video.
i thought maybe brad was giving a shot out to all us buffers back in the day!
Yeah I can't figure out what he's thinking with that chat window. At least reduce the fucking opacity, Jesus.
Isn't that the same art they had at the start of the project, they Brad said actually was produced for something *else* that they just appropriated for Pantheon?
Because animations/art/connectivity engineering take the longest out of the entire project to nail down well. EQ2's content was superior tbh, but it played/looked like absolute dogshit and was one of the reasons EQ2 is on fucking life support and WoW has the majority market share. If you don't have a good team for that kind of thing, you're wasting time. He's still holding out for an angel investor and it's really sad to watch someone's dream crushed like this, but he kind of did it to himself with that embarassing kickstarter.
are there a team of unemployed animators and artists looking to volunteer all their time to building a next gen game for a man who keeps all the cash and fires the employees in the parking lot?
Short answer: no.
Joppa did say that they would be custom designing their models as soon as it was feasible. I could even look past the unity assets if the gameplay turned out to be fun, but I'm glad to hear that custom models are in the game plan. I think the project has some good forward momentum now. It got off to a really bad/rocky start so hopefully the self-induced drama is behind them.
If you spend years watching a retard shit himself every time he tries to run, it's very easy to be impressed when he takes 2 small steps without blowing out the ass of his jeans
I think it's great the voluenteers are doing what they can to stick this out but I just can't see Brad changing his ways. Brad has a tendency to vanish and not lead when it's needed. It ultimately frustrates people and they bail. How many times has he posted about being more active in the community? He's the same way with his team. maybe Joppa has the leadership ability to do it on his own and use Brad as just a puppet. I don't know but once money gets reintroduced things might get really dicey. Who deserves to be paid more? Brad or Joppa? Joppa tends to be the guy running the show and team. Will Brad give himself another huge cut if they do come across a large donation? History may repeat itself here because Brad doesn't learn from his mistakes.
